• Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are appealing data-driven tools for solving and inferring solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Unlike traditional neural networks (NNs), which train only on solution data, a PINN incorporates a PDE's residual into its loss function and trains to minimize the said residual at a set of collocation points in the solution domain. This paper explores the use of the Schwarz alternating method as a means to couple PINNs with each other and with conventional numerical models (i.e., full order models, or FOMs, obtained via the finite element, finite difference or finite volume methods) following a decomposition of the physical domain. It is well-known that training a PINN can be difficult when the PDE solution has steep gradients. We investigate herein the use of domain decomposition and the Schwarz alternating method as a means to accelerate the PINN training phase. Within this context, we explore different approaches for imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions within each subdomain PINN: weakly through the loss and/or strongly through a solution transformation. As a numerical example, we consider the one-dimensional steady state advection-diffusion equation in the advection-dominated (high Peclet) regime. Our results suggest that the convergence of the Schwarz method is strongly linked to the choice of boundary condition implementation within the PINNs being coupled. Surprisingly, strong enforcement of the Schwarz boundary conditions does not always lead to a faster convergence of the method. While it is not clear from our preliminary study that the PINN-PINN coupling via the Schwarz alternating method accelerates PINN convergence in the advection-dominated regime, it reveals that PINN training can be improved substantially for Peclet numbers as high as 1e6 by performing a PINN-FOM coupling.

  We develop a nonlocal PINN approach using the Peridynamic Differential Operator (PDDO)---a numerical method which incorporates long-range interactions and removes spatial derivatives in the governing equations. Because the PDDO functions can be readily incorporated in the neural network architecture, the nonlocality does not degrade the performance of modern deep-learning algorithms. We document the superior behavior of nonlocal PINN with respect to local PINN in both solution accuracy and parameter inference.
